To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, RAYMOND P. Jxooss and STANLEY M. WINARSKI, citizensof the United States, residing at Stevens Point, in the county ofPortage and State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Motorists Goggles; and we do declare the following to bea full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such aswillenable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and usethe same.

Our invention relates to improvements in eye shields or goggles toprevent the blinding of motorists by approaching headlights and theobject of the invention is to provide" an extremely simple andinexpensive, yet an eflicient an easily operated device for obtainin thedesired results.

Wit] the foregoing in view, the invention resides in the. novel subjectmatter hereinafter described and claimed,- the description beingsupplemented by the accompanying drawing.

Figure 1 is a front elevationcf an eye shield constructed in accordancewith our invention.

Figure 2 is a vertical transverse sectional view on line 2 -2 of Fig. 1.

Figure 3 is an elevation showing a different'form of construction.

Figure 4 is a transverse sectional view on line 4-4 of Fig. 3.

In the form of construction selected for illustration in the presentapplication, we provide a pair of open frames 1 connected by a nosebridge 2 for disposition in front of the users eyes, any suitable meanssuch as the usual side wires or temples 3, being employed for securingthe frames and bridge in lace.

xtending forward] from each of the frames 1 is a shield 4 which extendsthroughout approximately half the circumference of the frames and islocated either above or below a horizontal plane intersecting the frameaxis. The front ends of the shields 4 terminate in a common verticalplane at substantially right angles to the aforementioned axis and wehave shown the front corners of each of said shields connected by ahorizontal bar 5.

Carried by the front end of each shield at, is a pair of horizontallyspaced vertically disposed panels 6 formed of any desired 1928. SerialNo. 840,578.

view opening 7 between tiem.

The panels 6 may be secured in place in any desired manner, but weprefer to bend the front ends of the shields 4 into channelshapedformation as indicated M8 and to similarly bend the bars 5, the edges ofthe panels being held in the channels.

By employing the construction shown, it will be seen that when glaringheadlights a proach, the user of the invention need 0 y turn his headslightl to cause certain of the panels 6 to cast sha ows upon the pupilsof his eyes, thus shieldin them and rmitting clear vision through teopenings If desired, the frames 1 may be provided with guides 9 ontheir inner ends to ad'ustably receive extensions 10 on the ends 0 thenose bridge 2,.set screws or the like 11 being provided to hold saiduides and extensions in adjusted position.

As excellent results have been obtained I from the details disclosed,these details may be followed if desired, but it is to be understoodthat within the scope of the invention as claimed, numerous changes inform, proportion and details, ma be made. For mstance, the panels 6 11not be in truly vertical planes, but may incline if desided.Furthermore, the may be slightly oblique to the eye axes when viewedfrom above, if found desirable.
